Inara.

The third roommate? I suspect she has been sent back to her own realm, as well. It appeared as if though they'd all just up and disappeared.

[backseatangel]

Yes, Inara was the third roommate. Her portrait is in the hall. Along with the others.

[bonescientist]

At least she has been sent back to where she belongs. Were you good friends with her?

[backseatangel]

Once. Before I... regained something I'd lost.

[bonescientist]

It's complicated. I went home, came back different, and now she's gone.

[bonescientist]

Maybe that was for the best, then.

[backseatangel]

I think home was better for her than it is for some of us.

[bonescientist]

In that case being sent back was probably the most fortuitous thing that could have happened to her.

[backseatangel]

Probably. I'll never know.

[bonescientist]

I suppose the best we can do is hope, irrational as it is.
